I thínk the Renault FT is ready. I kept the weathering to a minimum, since it was only used for demonstrations and tests. In between, it was stationed at the Ripperda barracks in Haarlem. It was carried on a special trailer to the test sites. Besides that, it just emerged from the icy water, so no mud on the running gear either. What do you think?

Both the Dutch colonel and the tank crew are ready. I changed the heads of the crew for Wolf heads and modified the helmets to resemble the one in the Nederlands Militaire Museum. Also, one of the overalls (the left one) was too skinny, so I added a layer of putty to give it more bulk. According to a picture I found, the overall was tied around the waist by means of a thin belt. So the original broad one was removed and one made from lead was added. I painted the leather jacket black, since that is the color the ones used by motor ordinances, and added the sergeant stripes. I painted the walking cane as if made from bamboo, to refer to the colonial status of the Netherlands at the time. I hope you like it and questions or comments are welcome.
